This is especially so in light of the events that happened today. There was a huge explosion of a main gas line near Willa's school. The city could not shut off the gas line or control the fire for a couple of hours. They evacuated the area around it. The fire was so hot that it melted cars down the block and business signs. There was a concern that the fire was spreading through the sewer system. The freeways were closed down and traffic was very congested and cordoned off by her school, but I was able to get there through some back alleys and bring her away from the area. Jia's school thankfully wasn't as close, but it was still put on lockdown and the kids were not allowed outside all day. Anyway, both girls are home now and safe and sound!
Once home, they each got a tasty rainbow with a marshmallow cloud and gold coin!
We shared some plates of rainbows with the kids in the neighborhood, too.
A sneaky leprechaun also tricked Jia. She was stirring her yogurt and it turned green!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Glad everyone is okay!! How scary!
Love that rainbow cake and the maple syrup. I was kind of sad that nothing came out, but the girls looked like they had fun playing in the trees.
Scary day! But glad you were lucky and got your girls home safe and sound.
Those rainbow cupcakes are amazing. You never cease to make me feel inadequate (I happily take your ideas, however).
Cheers! t
